Just turned this baby on, installed Cubase 10.5 Pro and installed all u-He Synths.
Diva crushes it, exact same performance as on my i7 5820k.
Does it sound normal or i am missing something?

Thanks

What version/revision of Diva are you using it with?

Post

Might wanna try another DAW, see if it's the same or better. Diva in multicore mode? Which quality mode? ASIO Guard on or off? Power options set to Ultimate Performance?

Post

That doesn’t sound right, my i7 4790k can run Diva perfectly well.

Post

I am not really complaining but just wondering if it is about right. I tried Divine with MultiCore,
MultiProcessing and AsioGuard ON, 128 Buffer on RME UFX. 3 Instances and each Instance a Gold Strip
with ALL ON by Acustica Audio...i think it was about right. Latest version of Diva. Average goes to
about 45-50 but it peaks a lot to about 75-80.

BTW "u-He crushes it" --> "Diva crushes it"

iirc, cubase doesn't like plugins doing the multicore, you need to switch it off in Diva....?

As far as I can google, clock speed isn't drastically different, you just have a lot more cores. So I would expect the per-core-performance to also be somewhat similar to that of your previous CPU.
Now if you were to run, say, two instances of Diva, both playing 16 notes with multicore enabled, I'd expect to see a difference in overall CPU performance then, as the voices can be spread across more cores.

Post

Also Acustica Audio plugins are usually CPU hogs, so I wonder if that's a part of the issue.

How are the temps of the cpu? maybe there’s a cooling issue and it’s throttling?

It’s been a while since I’ve used Cubase but I don’t remember Diva or other u-he plug-ins being especially problematic.

I’ll test the latest demo later but I think Diva used around 20% on my machine.

It could also be a power supply issue or a weak VRMs in the motherboard.

Post

so, for reference on my ancient i7 4790k using Diva + Ableton Live I'm getting 18-22% with multicore off and around 10% when multicore is on.

This is with the default patch set to Divine and banging some 4 note chords.
I hope that helps.

Turn off speed step (cpu speed scaling) and set cpu clock to work on max via UEFI :-)

Post

I have cpu scaling enabled fwiw.

Post

Yeah I would totally disable that on a desktop.
